The United States faced Panama in a tight game at Reliant Stadium in Houston, in the semi-finals of the Gold Cup.
The Americans had Landon Donovan on the bench for the first half, and failed to get too many quality shots on goal. Panama struggled to put pressure on American goalkeeper Tim Howard.
For much of the game, the United States maintained possession, but most of their efforts to find their forwards were thwarted by a tough Panama defense.
The game was close the whole way through, and the winner moved on to the Final in Pasadena, California, to play the winner of Mexico and Honduras.
